DESCRIPTION
The DS1743 is a full-function, year-2000-compliant (Y2KC), real-time clock/calendar (RTC) and 8k x 8 nonvolatile static RAM. User access to all registers within the DS1743 is accomplished with a bytewide interface as shown in Figure 1. The RTC information and control bits reside in the eight uppermost RAM locations. The RTC registers contain century, year, month, date, day, hours, minutes, and seconds data in 24-hour binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. Corrections for the day of the month and leap year are made automatically. The RTC clock registers are double buffered to avoid access of incorrect data that can occur during clock update cycles.
